<li>No child under 16 should be given any form of alcohol whatsoever;</li>
<li>No young person aged 16 or 17 should be given alcohol by care givers (on a regular basis). However, whether they are allowed alcohol at rare, special occasions should be written in the safe care plan and decided in discussion with the Team Around the Child (child/ young people, carers, social worker, etc.);</li>

<li>Care givers should discuss safe consumption of alcohol with young people.</li>
